BEATLES BOOTLEGS
In the US

In the United States, as noted above, The Beatles albums were rearranged, retitled and remixed. Some of the US releases were nearly identical to their UK counterparts, often only varying by one or two songs. Most releases contained songs that were also found on other records, which made things difficult for the American Beatles fan trying to purchase the band's entire catalog. By 1967, all US releases matched the UK releases exactly. Some of the US releases included:
